The Harvard Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, in conjunction
with the Department of Athletics marketing staff, conducted
successful food and toy drives at home basketball and hockey games
during the holiday season.

The Toy Drive benefited the Boston-area Toys for Tots program.
Toys were accepted at the December 16th men's ice hockey
game and the December 18th women's basketball game. In
response to fans' generosity, each toy donor received either a
Harvard fleece scarf or Harvard Athletics stadium glass as a gift
from the Department of Athletics.

Crimson fans donated nearly 150 toys to this year's Toys for
Tots campaign, which collects new toys for distribution to needy
children in the local community. For more details about the Toys
for Tots program, please visit www.toysfortots.org.

The Food Drive benefited the Allston-Brighton Food Pantry. Food
donations were accepted at the December 8th women's ice
hockey game and the December 12th men's basketball game.
In response to their generosity, each food donor received either a
Harvard fleece scarf or Harvard Athletics stadium glass as a gift
from the Department of Athletics.

Crimson fans donated over 300 nonperishable food items to the
Allston-Brighton Food Pantry, which serves income-eligible
residents in the area. On almost every second and fourth Saturday
of each month the Pantry distributes food baskets, which include a
three-to-four-day food supply. For more details about the
Allston-Brighton Food Pantry, please visit www.abfoodpantry.org.

The Harvard Student-Athlete Advisory Committee thanks all the
Crimson fans for your help in making this year's food and toy
drives a success.
